Robert wrote a feature “American Animals,” published back in September 2019, for New York magazine. It then turned into Joe Exotic Wondery podcast with new episodes coming out every Tuesday.

He has been investigating the lives of Joe Exotic and the gang since 2015, and even lived in one of Joe’s zoo trailers for five days. But at that point, Joe was already talking to the director Eric Goode on filming what’s now one of the most popular Netflix docuseries of the past few years.

In an interview with Fansided, Robert revealed what it was like being around Joe Exotic. “I don’t know if it’s possible to be both clever and dumb, but that’s kind of what he was.” In fact, Joe “almost always wriggled out of any jam that he got himself into until he got 22 years in prison.” Robert believes that Joe’s ego is to blame: “he allowed his ego to become monstrously huge, and it ended up becoming his destruction.”

Everyone was excited to ask Robert some questions

It's sad that the people are the main focus here and not the animal abuse.

I agree, i felt deceived by the title. Felt there should have been much more in there about the animal abuse that took place. it felt like they were protecting Joe.

I really have to agree with you. Netflix turned it into a human circus instead of a serious exposé on the animal trade. I've been following Big Cat Rescue for some time and they do a lot to help abused animals and educate people on what's really happening. It does not matter what the owner wore for Halloween 20 years ago, that was not supposed to be the message of this series.

This podcast is where I first heard about this unique band of characters and Robert did an amazing job reporting or this. I was hooked into every episode and every word made a vividly clear picture. Having listened to the podcast long before there was any mention of the docuseries I went into watching it a little bias. However, they did a great job at including the major facts. I agree with Robert’s opinion about their portrayal of Joe.

why is all this stuff so OBVIOUS!? Personally, I thought Joe was a good bit smarter before I read this.

Fact No 7 was in the Netflix series. I was worried what happened to fact No 3 though. :-D The fact about the cop being his limo driver is disturbing. What a messed up world they all live/lived in. As for Saff, I just assumed she was a butch woman. So he's a man, formerly a woman?

Saff is a trans man. He was born with female anatomy but feels he is male. Anything beyond that is none of anyone's business.
